1. Shipping seemed a little much, but then again how else would you ship a sheet this size for a quick delivery and undamaged. (Great Job)

2. Beautiful metal I'am not an expert,but it's what I was looking for in my project. (Great Metal)

3. I'm very happy with my project, and would reorder from this supplier again. (Great Work)

My kids were asking why our apartment doesn't have its own brass sign outside unlike all the other apartments. We live in San Francisco's trendy South of Market district, where brass signs have become de rigueur in recent years. Signs with butterflies embossed on them that say "The Nabokovs." Signs with monocles engraved that read "Peter and Harriet." The lot. Yes, I know what it's like to be a kid and to be ashamed of one's parents for not providing one's family with something it seems all the other kids have. And so, when I noticed that they were crying themselves to sleep over this issue, and that in the morning their pillowcases were wet with tears, I resolved to do something about it, so I ordered a few ultra slim 260 H02 sheets of brass from Amazon and decided to make myself a sign for "The Killians."

These brass sheets, less than .02 inches thick, are flexible enough for you, or your child, to wrap around a pole, massage into desired thickness, test for bugs, in any dimension you like. My kids wanted to paper the lintel with brass, and I let 'em. Might be hot on summer afternoons, but they'll learn. In the meantime you can hammer out the font characters you want, plus some amusing design (we had tulips) cut to 36" x 12" so you will have a nice plaque right next to your doorbell. Or should you discover someone famous once lived in your building, and your HOA approves, you could whip up a sign to commemorate the achievement right away. Like we discovered that Samuel Delany and Marilyn Hacker once lived in our building and staged a production of Genet's THE MAIDS on the three-flight stairwell, so that spectators stood on the street and craned their necks up to see the fun. Blam! Another brass sign. At this price you'll be buying brass like there's no tomorrow.
